New Customized Treasure Box

What do you think?

I made a new treasure box for one of Asher's little friends late last week. He was invited to a birthday party and I thought this would be a good opportunity to make a custom treasure box and then take pics so I could try to sell them on ARtfire and Etsy. She seemed to really like it and all the little kids "oooo'd" when she opened it, which is a great sign and made me feel good. Asher was so proud. He had made her a birthday card and couldn't wait for her to open it.

Five is such a cute age. But unfortunately, with fun, birthday parties and lots of kids come lots of germs. The party was at a gym that has gymnastics and they all just had a blast. There were trampolines everywhere, balance beams to climb on and inflatable bouncy houses. But the star of the show was a sponge pit.

Ick.

I refer to it as the Cesspool of Snot. So... today Asher missed school and has an ear infection. Oh well, goes with the territory. I just hope I don't get it, seems like germs just know when vacation or holidays are coming don't they?

And 'tis the season to be SICK! I LOVE your personalized treasure box SUCH a perfect gift- I bet they will do great in your stores too! We've had rounds of stuff here too, and I have to wonder how much of it comes from me bringing students in here....I actually had a dream about spraying the doorknobs with Lysol last night!xoStephanie

A lil' bit 'bout me

I find inspiration in every thing I see, hear, touch, feel, taste and even smell. I find beauty in the most ordinary things. I live in my own little Shangri-La that I have created with tons of plants and flowers each year planted with love, blood, sweat and some tears. I re-create beauty with my art and even a little darkness. I mostly paint but also illustrate, create digital works, design and photograph everything I possibly can. My art is for sale through my website [www.jaimehaney.com].
